y=5, x=7 because if 3x5=15 then 15-7=8 dont report me if i do get this wrong
Rectangle definitely not a parallelogram
You need to multiply the two numbers. Or you can use long addition.
Each shelf holds 8 trophies (2X4=8). 3 shelves times 8 trophies will equal a total of 24 trophies.
Distribute the first +a to the +a and multiply, then multiply the same +a and the +b and then multiply the -b and the +a and then the -b and the +b.
Hope this helped, if you have any more questions about this, just ask.
